How Damaging Is Reform's Donations Row?
5 September 2026
34 minutes
Available for over a year
In this episode, we examine the potential impact of the Reform donations report on the party, Nigel Farage's response to the undercover reporter and former chief of staff conversation, and whether cultural issues contribute to the party's money-related controversies.
Nigel Farage has stated he was not listening during the conversation about what appears to be a scheme to funnel foreign money to Reform UK. The row has overshadowed the party’s conference in Birmingham.
Laura, Chris, and Joe delve into Farage’s response and explore the policies unveiled at the conference.
